i do love to laugh...

since it is 

in the name of my blog

it seems appropriate for me

to address my love

for laughter from time to time.

those who just read my

blog and don't encounter me in person 

may wonder if i really do laugh.

i do.

i do.

i really do laugh 

and love to laugh. 

i've been blessed to 

have folks in my life 

who make me laugh.  

one in particular 

is responsible for 

starting and ending my day 

with a deep down laugh.

he's clever 

with his words

and has a memory like

a hawk.

i love that!

yesterday i got a laugh

when a friend sent me a 

facebook message 

that she enjoyed 

reading my "blot"!

i know it was a typo

and she meant blog

but "blot" 

may best 

describe what i do in this space.

no matter...

it made me belly laugh. 

today a man who came 
to replace the mother board on 

my six month old computer
speaks with an accent

so i said so.

"you speak with an accent." 

because every time i speak in 

this land called 

new jersey 
people tell me...

"you have an accent!"

the repair man's accent was south african.

i told him mine was 

texan.

he said,

"i didn't notice you had an accent." 

that made me laugh!

he also said I was the first texan 

he had every spoken too.

so in the midst of 

finding perspective

and living life...

        even when it doesn't 

        read like it

 my life is filled with 

laughter

and 

thus....

love.
